Research published in Veterinary Microbiology identifies Carnitine palmitoyl-transferase 1A (CPT1A) as a critical factor in bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) infection, with the virus inducing nuclear re-localization of CPT1A to support productive infection. Inhibition of CPT1A by etomoxir significantly reduces BoHV-1 replication, highlighting the metabolic pathway as a potential therapeutic target. For the full study, visit ScienceDirect.
